Playing as Rell

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Crash down from your mount

    Engage with Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), which knocks enemies into the air where you land and shields you until you remount.

  2. Shattering Strike on a shield

    Save Shattering Strike (Q) for a shielded target: the strike breaks all their shields and stuns every unit in the line.

  3. Pull, then crash down

    Cast Magnet Storm (R) in the middle of them, then Ferromancy: Crash Down (W) on top of them, so the enemies you just pulled in take a knock-up.

  4. Charge with the ally who engages

    Cast Full Tilt (E) on the ally engaging with you: you both gain move speed, doubled toward enemies, and your next auto explodes.

Playing against Karma

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Respect her level 1

    Play carefully at the very start of lane: Mantra (R) is available from level 1, so Karma already has an empowered spell.

  2. Break her tether

    Move away as soon as Focused Resolve (W) tethers you: if the tether holds to the end, you take damage again and get rooted.

  3. Leave the ring of fire

    Quickly leave the ring of fire left by Inner Flame (Q) empowered by Mantra (R): it slows and deals extra damage.

  4. Focus her in teamfights

    If you can reach her, focus her in teamfights: Mantra (R) then Inspire (E) gives a shield and move speed to every ally grouped around her target.
